Does the amount of fuel taken affect the weight and maneuverability of the aircraft in War Thunder?

Love to see how a Lancaster flies on 20 mins of fuel

These are like 100 years old, because fuel does effect the plane, our Dataminer can confirm that fuel has a weight

Evidence for your consideration:

Muh but 10 years ago the devs said thats not the case lel

Fuel for plane yes

Yes fuel affects the performance

Does the performance reflect the preselected base fuel before the match or the fuel remaining after it has been consumed over a set period?

In my experience, I’ve never felt that my plane flew better after 20 minutes of play, with only 0:30 seconds of fuel left…

Fuel mass goes down.
I just wasn’t going to spend 7 minutes waiting for fuel to go down.
By all means test drive the F-20 with fuel on, and you’ll get the same result.

Mods yes, but CM’s are Gaijin employees.

Doesn’t change anything I said.

On some jets it can make difference between making a tight turn or ripping a wing (looking at you Mirage 3E, well at least it was like that the last time I flew it before it got wing tanks)
